EP. 1895: Filmmaker Matt Jenkins (LOUDER THAN LATER)
Matthew Toffolo interviewed Matt Jenkins about his short film *Louder Than Later* and his experience in the Oklahoma film scene. Matt described the Oklahoma film environment as having many festivals and recent Hollywood productions, while Matthew shared positive memories of the Bare Bones Festival. Matt Jenkins explained that *Louder Than Later* was inspired by the witty banter of *Gilmore Girls* and the grit of the late 70s/early 80s punk scene, and was filmed at a local bar called the Railhead. He discussed casting two theater majors from Cameron University, where he has taught television and film production for 33 years. The two talked about the shift in student interests toward horror movies and the challenges of making low-budget horror look believable. Matt Jenkins shared his lifelong passion for the entire filmmaking process and mentioned his "Movie Night" screenings at the Vasco Theater, including a recent event with actor Johnny Roast Beef. He also described how his films are connected through recurring story threads and cameos, and that they are hosted for free on archive.org.
